1 Reviews of the Minibus 3
By: Itinerant-Potters Reason: I own(ed) one Made in: 2010 Rating: 
We are a family of five & use two of these tents, we pitch them facing each other with a tarp across the intervening space.
2 Adults comfortably in one 3 children in the other.
We have camped with this set up for 3 weeks no problem.
These tents are very easy to put up & take down five minutes or so.
They are very warm and the ventilation is excellent.
After zipping at night with a temp outside temp of 7 degrees C within 90 minutes inside temp will settle around 12-14 degrees C.
Each door has two doors, one fly coloured the other no-see-um mesh. Both have glow in the dark zip tags.
The first time we used these we had two weeks of steady & torrential rain with no leaks.
There are two vestibules, mirror images of each other and plenty big enough to fit atleast four adult sized back packs + odds & sods, no problem.
Shop around if your looking at getting one of these new, as I paid £199 each and have seen them for £189, while some places had them still listed at £389.
The footprints for this tent are like hen's teeth.(If you see any for sale drop me a line)
If you spot one they should be around £30.
9 out of 10 because there's always room for improvement.

Stable 3-season shelter features 2 doors, 2 vestibules and a comprehensive color-coded design that speeds setup
Several well-designed technical elements improve the simplicity of pitching and help the tent remain taut and adjustable during use
Color-coded DAC Featherlite® NSL poles and webbing clips match up for easy pitching; these poles use an anodization process that lessens environmental impact
Join the canopy and fly in 1 easy click with specially designed clips
DAC Jake's Feet at tent floor corners keep the canopy taut and the structure sound, regardless of weather
H-Clips at pole crossings concentrate fabric tension at the strongest points in the tent's architecture and reduce weight
C-Clips create significantly greater interior volume while maintaining a campsite-friendly footprint size
Twist-clips make pitching and disassembly easy and fast, and save weight
Superlight siliconized nylon rainfly material is rugged and weatherproof; fully taped bathtub floor
2 large vestibules match up with 2 large D-shaped doors; clever stash pockets in the vestibules can be accessed from inside or outside the tent
Large clear end window in vestibule allows weather watching
High-low ventilation design harnesses convection and crossflow to help expel moisture vapor and prevent interior condensation
Convenient overhead pockets stow headlamps and fragile items; abundant gear loops allow you to hang items from ceiling
Reflective guyline loops, guylines and glow-in-the-dark zipper pulls make life easier at night
The North Face MInibus 3 includes compression stuff sack, stakes and guyline
